Just now?
It croaked a while back.
Deep State continues to make sure.
Case in point...
CA, like NY, is about to drop the fig leaf with regard to the Fifth Column...er, Fourth Estate.
Hope FReepers can survive
That’ll be the day I go back to Annandale
It used to be that California voters had the opportunity to vote on measures, and then the liberal politicians would go to court to block outcomes they didn’t like.
They’re just skipping a couple of steps now.
I’ve always wondered how California can be so schizophrenic, voting generally conservatively on ballot measures, but also electing the most loony power-hungry leftist politicians in the race. One would think that people who want to be governed according to conservative principles would vote for the politicians to give them that. But, no, that doesn’t happen in CA.
That’s just one more reason I decided not to move back to CA and went to TX instead.
Do the proponents of this measure have the option to appeal to the USSC or is it totally a state matter and it is done now?
Not a lawyer and have limited legal knowledge.
Thanks for all with opinions for indulging my questions here.

That’s what legislators are for. You deal with them in November.
Taxation without representation.
Which Annandale? Northern Va. has a city named Annandale, and I always thought that was the city Steely Dan was singing about, until I learned there was an Annandale on Hudson or something like that in New York, and Bard College is located there. That was what the song was really referring to, supposedly. 😋
Probably had something to do with Bard College would be my guess
LOL! These are Democrats. We haven't had a legitimate statewide election in California in over 20 years. This is a State where "educational administrators" outnumber teachers, where Judicial Watch busted LA for 1.4 MILLION bogus registrations, and where illegals come in and out getting a new driver's license and are therefore registered each time.
This IS Democrat Dystopia; and California leads the way! What could have been Switzerland on steroids is heading for a sick combination of Mad Max and Blade Runner.
Nobody will do anything about it. These communists advance and people tsk tsk and make some comment on social media. Nothing happens to them, why stop what they’re doing? Anyone really think the government is going to let you vote out a tax? I don’t see how this is sustainable.
Saving Democracy!
So, hopefully soon? They're pushing pretty hard.
Well, that was my thought, just confirming. 🙂👍
“California Supreme Court silenced the voices of the voters.”
Well, in all fairness, it IS in their Job Description. You’ll find it in, ‘All Other Duties As Assigned.’
*SMIRK*
Last Conservative out of California, please turn out the lights!
Oh, wait! The rolling blackouts will take care of that for ya. ;)
(I lived south of San Diego, 1980-1982.)
Don’t understand what gives the courts the authority to do this, it looks to me they are running the country.
Correct . - California Supreme Court - Tyrants silenced the voices of the voters.
It’s a state matter. The ruling was based on the state constitution.
